Six new restaurants announced for Aventura’s Esplanade - and one’s a Colombian food hall

You can stop complaining about all that construction going on in Aventura now. The Esplanade at Aventura is taking shape - and it might be a glorious thing for north Miami-Dade foodies.

The new shopping and dining destination in Aventura has announced six new restaurant concepts coming to the development - and they’re all brand-new to Miami.

Located on what used to be the Sears parcel at the Aventura Mall but not part of the mall, The Esplanade at Aventura is 215,000 square feet of open-air retail, dining and entertainment space spread over 23 acres. There are 100,000 more square feet planned for development.
